Hey,

Wanted to get some tech info maybe from you guys that have already done this.

What size/fitting combinations do I need to replace my regular stock brake lines with Earl's performance SS braided??

I checked Holley's website, and I have no clue what size fittings/lines I need to get to do this job.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

I'd be very intersted in the same info for a '99.

Mike -
Did you ever locate any info on this? I'm pretty keen to move to braided lines.
Thanks.

For what's it worth, here's my two cents. I have a bone stock 2k 4Runner 4x4 Millenium Silver Limited w/auto tranny, 46,000 miles, purchased new in July 2000. I do most of the maintenance myself. The only times it's seen the dealer was for the first oil change at 1k, which was free, and problems with the throttle body (hesitation when taking off from a rolling stop, hereby known as a California Stop, and grinding noises with the power front seats. At 40k, I installed braided steel brake lines and Performance Friction carbon metallic front pads. I bought the brake lines from www.aor4x4.com, and the pads from Autozone. The guys at aor4x4 were super nice, and they shipped the lines out right away. All they asked was if my front calipers had banjo fittings (They're female). Before I ordered the brake lines, I e-mailed Earls to see if they had them (I live in Los Angeles, and Earls is located nearby). They told me that I would have to bring my old lines in so they could fabricate a set. I did that years ago with my 260Z.

Anyways, I installed the braided steel lines along with the Performance Friction carbon metallic front brake pads. Braking power and brake pedal feel is much improved over stock (With the stock setup, I felt the brakes fade a few times when braking hard going down a steep hill and slowing down in the diamond lane), except the brake dust is killing me.

I hope this helps.

Yeah, I did find some stuff out.

I am going with Goodridge stainless steel lines (www.goodridge.net/) from Import Replacement Parts (importrp.com) Mike was helping me out over there.

I just ordered my Brembo discs, PBR/Axxis front pads and ENDURO rear shoes. I'll probably order the lines right after the first of the year. Best price I coud find.

hope this helps,
